Jewish Family Service of the North Shore- Magic of Mitzvah Kosher Food Pantry
The Magic of Mitzvah Kosher Food Pantry began in 1997 for the purpose of helping North Shore Jewish families in need. All food is Kosher dairy or vegetarian to help keep with dietary laws. The pantry collects non-perishable Kosher food products from institutional food drives and individual donations and distributes them to people in need.
The Kosher Meals on Wheels Program provides daily Monday-through-Friday delivery of low salt, low sugar Kosher meals to homebound seniors who currently observe Kashrut. All meals are prepared under rabbinical supervision in the kitchen of the Woodbridge Assisted Living Facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. Program participants are asked to voluntarily contribute $2.00 towards the cost of each meal delivered.
